kept by force;
it can only be achieved by understanding.”

I was so frustrated by the complexity of what should be a simple divorce. My own emotional struggles and financial challenges created a wall I couldn't seem to move. Robin helped me understand and simplify the divorce process, walking me through each step till completion. It was exactly the help I needed to walk this process out. I am so grateful to have found Robin. It felt like I had a good friend helping instead of legal assistance.
